But looking at it this way...
Did he inadvertently ruin their happy reunion?
I bet Eleven must have been distressed at that moment, not being able to leave.
"Does this mean, on Christmas, New Year's Eve, and so many other important holidays, you guys never spent them together?" Gu Liancheng...
Because, as far as he can gather, on such holidays... Eleven usually spent them with him.
"What do you think?" Jiujiu shot back with a sarcastic look.
"... Ignorance excused."
If he knew, would any of this have happened?
He would have brought Jiujiu over too, to spend it as a family.
Though all these happened because she didn't tell him her true intentions, Gu Liancheng still felt uneasy. After all, because of him, mother and son spent very little time together.
"Nevertheless... Eleven thanked me, saying we've been living well throughout these years thanks to your financial support. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for him with his job wages to raise me as well as he has."
